Episode notes
Kidnappings Are Systemic And Strategic
- Boko Haram's school kidnappings are part of a sustained campaign and fund their operations through ransoms.
- Many victims disappear into militant networks and the pattern has intensified over the last decade.
Bring Back Our Girls Recalled
- Mike Cosper referenced the 2014 abduction and the Bring Back Our Girls campaign as a comparable case.
- He noted that of 276 girls taken then, 82 remain missing today.
Words Versus Capacity In Response
- International responses include speeches and offers of support, but on-the-ground media coverage is limited.
- U.S. engagement like intelligence and aircraft could empower Nigerian forces more than public statements alone.
